ABOUT WILFRED SATTY FROM WIKEPEDIA:  Born in Bremen, Germany, Sätty lived through multiple Allied bombings of Germany during World War II.[1] Sätty moved to San Francisco in 1965 where he got a job at Bay Area Rapid Transit as a draftsman.[1]

He released two collage volumes, The Cosmic Bicycle (Straight Arrow Books, 1971) and Time Zone (Straight Arrow Books, 1973), as well as a number of other collections.

He died in 1982 from "a fall from a ladder while inebriated."[2] Sätty's final work was published in 2007 by the recipient of his estate, architect and art historian Walter Medeiros, as Visions of Frisco: an Imaginative Depiction of San Francisco during the Gold Rush & the Barbary Coast Era.[3]

His works have been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the National Museum, Warsaw.[4]
